Travis Barker And shanna moakler

In September 2008, Travis Barker, the former 182 Blink drummer had a terrible plane accident in South Carolina, accident in which four people have died. Even though this was a dramatic moment in Barker’s life, it turns out that, almost meeting death can really change people’s attitude.

In this case, the rocker felt like getting back together with her ex wife, the beautiful Shanna Moakler. The two were divorced since 2006 and have two kids: a boy Landon, 5, and a girl Alabama, 3.

While he was married with the former beauty queen Moakler, their marriage was the subject of a reality show on MTV, called "Meet the Barkers". After broking up with Shanna Moakler, Travis Barker had an adventure with the spoiled girl of USA, Paris Hilton. But despite their tumultuous life, during the recovering of her ex husband, Shanna stood beside him.

It seems that the accident and all that come after it, made them think about reconciliation, as the beautiful blonde tells to Us Weekly magazine: “We would like to renew our vows and have another wedding.”

So it is obvious that the two decided that when you almost lose someone you once loved, old feelings can come back and they can help reunite people. About their future remarriage, they affirmed that it is a symbolic gesture, a “Thanks God” he is still alive, especially since Travis’s totally recovering should take a while.

Blink-182 Travis Barker Tattoo

Travis’ first tattoo was the word “BONES” (a nickname when he was a kid) on his leg which he got when he was 17 years old. Another notable addition is the phrase “SELF MADE” spelled out across his knuckles which he got in 2000. Some of Travis’ numerous tattoos include religious art as he says he was brought up Catholic. He has a portrait of Jesus above his left biceps, hands in prayer on the left side of his head (visible with his signature mohawk) and a Sacred Heart. He has a few tattoos that symbolize his love for cars and Cadillacs in particular - two racing flags on the side of his neck with the number 66 which symbolizes the year of his favorite Cadillac and a Cadillac emblem surrounded by mudflap girls on his chest as well as a pair of spark plugs.


Much of his body art is devoted to his love of music such as the phrase “Can I Say” which is the name of Dag Nasty’s first album, a microphone, and a boom box on his stomach for his love of breakdancing when he was growing up. He also has the word “HOPE” on his back because of the Descendents’ song and something positive after his mother’s death. He has another tribute to the Descendents on his leg - the cover art to the album, I Don’t Want To Grow Up, drumsticks and musical notes on his right arm.


Travis also makes several tributes to his family with the phrase “familia” on his arm, Japanese flowers on the back of his neck with a heart that says “Mom”, and another heart with “SHANNA” on the banner. He also has the name of his first wife, “Melissa,” just above the racing flags on the side of his neck.


He considers his right arm his “good luck arm” and so has many luck emblems tattooed on that arm such as a deck of cards, dice, a dollar sign, his lucky number seven, a skull with the number 13 in the eye sockets (13 is a lucky number in the tattoo culture), and a rabbit’s foot, in addition to a martini glass, his initials, a devil from Black Label Skateboards, and a spider web surrounding his elbow.


In explanation of his large number of tattoos Travis has said, “I tattooed my body so I couldn’t fall back on anything. I purposely did that so I couldn’t get a normal job and live a normal life. I did it so I had to play music.” Travis claims to have spent over $30,000 on his body art.















Travis Barker: Another rock star who takes body art to the extreme, some of the drummer's tattoos are of questionable taste, most notably the huge stereo system across his stomach.






Travis barker is in my opinion the best drummer in the world. Blink 182 is now back together and planning a summer tour! I can't wait. I am also a tattoo hunter. Anything interesting I find will post on here. I'm not 100% sure on how many tattoos he has but I know its a hell of a lot. My favorite would have to be his Cadillac symbol on his chest.
